League Announcements – Week of 5/1

Good afternoon X-wing Players!

After a month-long break, we are back at it with regular updates, new events/news, and of course, some of the best X-wing play this side of the Mississippi! That’s right ladies and gentleman, we’re gearing up for the summer season of X-wing and we’re kicking it off with a bang.

On Saturday our crew participated in the annual Campaign Against Cancer at Geek City games in Coralville. It was an amazing event with some spectacular play by our Des Moines crew, who you can check out in all their glory below:

We’re still getting in the final tally for dollars raised but great job guys! Always awesome to see so many people get together for a good cause.

Tonight, we’ll be getting together at Mayhem for our weekly game night. Not only will we be experimenting with lists for the upcoming store championship season, but also we’ll be helping our X-wing World Championship attendees prepare for this weekend.

Come on down tonight for some quality play and some even better players 🙂

Of course, that’s just the beginning, as we’ve also gotten our official events built for MuseOn Con 2017. This coming Memorial weekend, get ready for four quality X-wing tournaments put on by your very own Des Moines Area X-wing crew.

You can find the full breakdown on our events page but in order to not miss out on this awesome weekend of X-wing goodness, head to the MuseOn Con 2017 ticket page to get registered now.

Once you’ve got your ticket, check out our Facebook events and sign-up so we know just how many people to expect. It’s going to be an amazing weekend of X-wing insanity so get registered now!

We’ll have more updates to come as we get more details about tournaments around Iowa (Iowa Tour of Duty 2017) so check back often to catch up on all the latest and greatest from your Des Moines Area X-wing crew.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a post without our usual send off so – good luck and fly casual!

Good afternoon X-wing players!

It’s been far too long since the last time we posted and as a community we apologize for not better serving you the players 🙂

Despite our absence on Facebook and the website, there’s been all kinds of fun things going on in our area and we hope we can see you at them all! This week alone we have a continuation of our DSM Cup tournament, with the second round of escalation continuing at the 90 point level.

We also have a whole bunch of local players heading out to Adepticon in Chicago for the HOTH System Open Series. We’ll be sure to provide updates both here and on twitter as the Des Moines crew tears it up out in Chicago.

Of course, it all starts at home and tonight we’ll be running our usual Monday night game’s down at Mayhem Comics starting at 6pm (or earlier if you want!). Come on down for the usual flights, fights, and good banter.

We’d also like to note a few upcoming events like our monthly tournament down at Jay’s CD & Hobby this coming Sunday 4/2, as well as the biggest event for the Spring the MuseOnCon put on by the local Muse On Minis crew Memorial Weekend. We’ll be running not one, not two, not even three, but four separate X-wing events that weekend, including our annual Fel’s Free-for-All tournament.

We’ll have more details as we get closer to the event but look forward to all of your favorites like escalation and team epic 🙂

You can get your tickets at the website – don’t delay!

Otherwise, as always good luck and fly casual 🙂

Good Afternoon Des Moines Area X-Wingers!

You know what day it is, it’s time to smash your favorite ships together, tonight at Mayhem in Des Moines! As usual, most attendees will be arriving a little after 6pm but some will be there as early as 5.

Over the weekend we had several DesMoines brethren that played in the Denver and Chicago Regionals! Your X-wing team would like to take a moment to give a shoutout to Justin Brown, Aamon Bond, and Kyle Doerhoff! Justin went 4-2 barely missing the cut, while Aamon and Kyle went 5-1 and 6-0 respectively and made it to the Top 8 at the Denver Regional. Kyle with his amazing trip T-70s was able to make it to the Top 4! Congrats boys and great flying! For the Chicago regional we had Jared Crumly, after being 30th on the waitlist got in and went a nice 3-3 against a large pool of 120 players!

Transitioning from regionals, which is wrapping up we will be continuing our Heroes of the Aturi Cluster Campaigns. This is a fan-made campaign that pits you against waves of tie fighters and completing pre-set objectives. If you’re interested please see Sean Esser! (Spoiler alert, its alot of fun and be warned the Empire is ruthless!!)

As a last note, The CAC (Campaign Against Cancer) event has started its pre-registering for this years event! This is a great event for newer players and veterans alike and the proceeds go to a great cause! Here is the link for all info on the event! http://twinsunscharities.org/

As always Good Luck and Fly Casual!
